The ambiance is repeatedly described as intimate and homey, with Persian decor that makes dining feel like a welcome visit to a family home. Service is often highlighted as attentive and hospitable, though a few visits note occasional delays or inconsistencies when busy. Many reviewers consider the menu prices high but worth the experience, with the quality and atmosphere earning strong praise. Reservations are frequently recommended due to the small space.

Overall, Maison Inja is celebrated as a hidden gem offering authentic flavors, comforting home style meals, and a memorable, refined yet cozy atmosphere that keeps guests returning.
Went with family & it was our first time trying persian food, it did not disappoint! Loved the eggplant entrees & the mushroom cream barley soup. Ambiance is very cozy & perfect for family dinners.
Absolutely loved my experience here! The interior decor is beautiful & detailed, & the whole atmosphere feels calm, warm, & relaxing.
It was my first time trying Persian cuisine, & the food was absolutely delicious - full of flavor yet very balanced.
I also really enjoyed the drinks, especially the Persian Fog - it's so unique & smooth.
The Tea Latte comes in a large pot that fills about four small tea cups, which is such a lovely touch.
The service was excellent, & everything was very clean & well maintained.
A truly wonderful experience - I'll definitely be coming back!
We ordered kebab digi tahchin, as well as meat & eggplant tahchin. I especially loved the meat & eggplant one, it had such an authentic flavor, with a perfect balance of spices & textures that made every bite delicious. The kebab digi was very good too!
The atmosphere was beautiful, showing true Persian style, & the staff were so kind & friendly. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to experience Iranian cuisine & culture. If I ever have guests & want to introduce them to authentic Persian food, this is absolutely where I'd bring them. Truly well presented!
My friend & I were visiting Montreal for a weekend & this restaurant came recommended. It was not a disappointment! One of the best food we both had! The staff were so nice & passionate about the food. The atmosphere was so warm & inviting. It felt like you entered someone's home & was offered a home cooked meal. Definitely try out this restaurant when in Montreal.
Delicious, high quality Persian food, great service, & hospitality along with beautifully designed decorations & soft music create a chic yet cozy ambiance which gives one the very sense of home.
One of my most favorite places to dine in Montréal!
If you are craving for a Persian dish & you want to experience an exquisite atmosphere, this is the place. Staff are kind, food is beyond delicious & it feels like dining in a luxury middle eastern place.
It's unfair to give them less than 5 star, however I want to mention that you should expect a pricy menu.
We tried the Lentil & the kebab Digi Tahchin & I highly recommend it.
Très bon service, les employés sont accueillants. Le décor est bien représentatif de la culture. On se sent en immersion totale. Au niveau de la nourriture ; pour ma part j'ai pris le poulet épinards & c'était frais ; une explosion de saveur. Ma collègue a pris celui au jarret de veau est la viande était bien mariné. Overall c'était une bonne expérience, je recommande pour découvrir la nourriture & la culture.
